Minority Rights Group International is a human rights organization whose motto is “working to secure the rights of minorities and indigenous peoples”. Its annual flagship publication is the State of the World’s Minorities and Indigenous Peoples – the 2013 report was released in late September, and focuses on the health inequities faced by most minority and indigenous groups worldwide.

The organization also produces the World Directory of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples, which has summary descriptions of the minority and indigenous groups found in all regions of the world. Canada’s entries for First Nations and Inuit are quite lengthy and describe the historical context of colonization as well as current land title issues, etc.
